WARNING: may cause dopamine boost | Adorable Mini American Shepherd puppy

[@the.Aruarian]

You have to appreciate a sheparding dog's intelligence at work with how even as a puppy, Zeus can condition Vanessa into giving him constant treats.

[@Trishtrash952]

Lmao I have a 3 year old MAS (we call them mini aussies for short even though they're a separate breed from full sized aussies) and this is basically my life. They're VERY communicative dogs too and will tell you exactly what they want, when they want it. I taught mine to put his toys away and sometimes when we practice it, he takes a toy OUT of the toy bin if none of his other toys are close enough, walks away and pretends that he picked it up from the floor and then puts it back into his toy bin and expects a treat 😂They're not dogs for everyone's lifestyle and mine was a very difficult puppy but they're such smart and loving dogs and if you're committed to training them and keeping them happy with exercise and training, it's so worth it. They're so loyal to their humans and I just fell in love with the breed when I got mine. Also worth noting that you basically can't give them too many treats at that age! They grow so quickly that it's fine. Although definitely watch the treato intake when they get older. It's a slippery slope lol

[@Lunarelle1013]

I mean, who wouldn't want to give him treats? *flappy hands*

[@jscho8674]

​@patriciapedriali2746 we've been thinking about getting one, so thank you for all of the great breed info, Patricia! We've been researching, but info from an experienced owner is way better. ❤❤❤

[@davidwatson8142]

My sad face and a little shaking, I get a treat. Lesson learned!

[@Canuckmom128]

That face! He is just a doll. Such a baby - you can’t blame him not liking the blow dryer. Zeus - you picked a great Hooman to be your “Auntie” - you’re in very good hands.

[@jonathanbair523]

I would have Zeus's furr parents have Zeus in the bathroom as they blow-dry there hair, so he can see his humans do it so it is not a danger... My long haired Yorkie did not like getting his hair trimmed, so I used trimmer to shave a few times then I used it on him...

[@MollyGilman]

Almost relevant: I worked at a vet clinic for a while during lockdown, when owners couldn't come in with their pets. My main job was to keep the animals calm and comforted in the exam room until the vet or tech could come in. Sometimes I'd sing very low and quiet to them and they seemed to like the rumble. One day I was going through the Beatles, when we had a lovely but very nervous dog named Zeus come in. A few refrains of "Zeussy in the Sky with Diamonds" and he was snoozing in my lap. I love your channel and all your videos! They're not just adorable, I've learned a few things about caring for my pets! Thank you!!

The worst you're gonna get is him whining for attention or pleading for food, but he accepts pets as consolation. He's also never been super playful, but he loves affection and of course, food!
